One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 304 Complications

Warily, Courtney read Alexander’s face from the corner of her eyes. Despite her insensitiveness, he remained uninfluenced as if he heard nothing, to which she felt relieved.

After lunch, the kids requested to go to the snowfield once again, but Scott seemed rather indifferent. Seeing that, Courtney felt somewhat guilty, wondering whether it was her words that offended him. As such, she persuaded Tina and Jordan to accompany their great-grandfather in the study room.

“Great-Grandpa’s not feeling so good. Why don’t the two of you be a good kid and go comfort him?”

Confused, Tina loudly interrogated, “Why is he sad? Is it because you didn’t agree to marry Mr. Alexander?”

Courtney then gave her head a knock. “Nonsense! Do you remember what I just said?”

“Ugh, fine.” Rubbing her head, Tina unhappily pouted her tiny lips. “Stop hitting my head, Mommy, or I’ll grow stupid.”

Accordingly, Courtney caressed the little girl’s head. “Okay, I’ll stop. Now, with your brother, go.”

Although the little girl could sometimes be cunning and slothful, she was always optimistic when it came to cheering up others. At the order of her mother, she immediately dragged Jordan up the staircase. As she was running away, she mischievously pulled a funny face at Courtney.

“The mission shall be completed!”

Meanwhile, Alexander was reading on the couch. Having heard the little girl’s clear timbre, he couldn’t help but turn around, only to see Courtney standing at the staircase, telling the kids not to dash too recklessly.

At that moment, a ray of sunlight shone through the window, landing on her back. It was a sight for sore eyes. In that instant, everything felt radiant. Even the ancient, stationary furnishings he grew up with seemed to have been instilled with life.

“It’s about time you set a date.” Scott’s words echoed in his mind. Although they carried some kind of pressure within them, they appeared to be somewhat of a musical tune to his ears. A married life, huh… There’ll always be a company—someone to miss and someone that’ll miss me. It’s so, so much more wonderful than living life alone. How have I only realized it now?
